Benefits of technology

[0004] In one aspect the invention may be said to consist in a graphical management interface for a radio station, including: a display region for presenting programmed functions of the station, a first control for user selection of input conditions to form programmed functions, a second control for user selection of output actions to be carried out by the station in response to the selected input conditions, and at least one further control for user editing of the functions.
[0005] Preferably the first and second controls list substantially every available input condition and output action of the station for selection by the user. Preferably the functions include control of station 10, station alarms and external equipment. Preferably the task management scree

Embodiment Construction

[0036] Referring to the drawings it will be appreciated that the invention may be implemented in a range of different ways for different kinds of equipment in a communication network. This specification describes management of a base station used in a mobile radio network that is manufactured by Tait Electronics in New Zealand, as an example only. Adaptation of the invention for equipment produced by other manufacturers is readily made. It is assumed that the operation of a mobile network is known to a skilled reader and that details of the network operation and specific components of the network such as base stations need not be given here.

[0037]FIG. 1 is a schematic indication of hardware and software components in the base station. The usual combination of electronic components such as a microprocessor, memory, data and bus connections are represented together as a central system, with transmitter and receiver components Tx and Rx having respective antennas. A range of general I...

Abstract

A graphical management interface for a radio station that simplifies programming interactions for a user. The interface has a display region for presenting programmed functions of the station. The region has first and second controls for user selection of input conditions to form programmed functions, and for user selection of output actions to be carried out by the station in response to the selected input conditions. At least one further control for user editing of the functions is also provided. The first and second controls list substantially every available input condition and every available output action of the station for selection by the user. Backplane management of the station can also be done in software.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to the management of stations in a radio network, in particular but not only to user programming of tasks that are carried out in a base station. BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION [0002] Most functions for managing the components of a mobile radio network are hardwired or pre-programmed in the equipment according to standard requirements. However, many network operators require special functions that must be programmed or “scripted” separately, either on installation or later during upgrades. In some cases the operators are willing to program their own special functions. A range of programming tools are available for radio base stations and other items of network equipment, such as mobile units. They are often complex and in general are not easily used by untrained operators. The term “station” in this specification is intended to include mobile, portable and the full range of other radio devices in addition to base stations. SUMMARY OF...
